Veteran Nollywood actress Chinwe Owoh laid her husband, Frank Owoh, to rest on Saturday, July 26, in their hometown of Udi, Enugu State.
Heart-wrenching footage from the burial ceremony surfaced online the following day, capturing the tearful moment Chinwe became overwhelmed with emotion as her husband’s coffin was lowered into the ground and covered with sand.
The funeral was attended by several notable figures in the Nigerian film industry, including actors Bob Manuel Udokwu and Nkem Owoh who is also Chinwe’s brother-in-law. Their presence underscored the strong support shown by colleagues and loved ones during this difficult time.
Mourners at the solemn event struggled to hold back tears, with Chinwe visibly devastated by the loss. Reports indicate that her husband passed away in April.
Chinwe Owoh began her acting career in 1999 and rose to fame with her performance in the 2001 film Mothering Sunday. Over the years, she has featured in several Nollywood productions such as Royal Tears, Town in Danger, Sister Faith, Wisdom of the Gods, and Mummy Why?
In a related development, GistLover earlier reported that Big Brother Naija host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu paid homage to Nkem Owoh by wearing an outfit inspired by the veteran actor at the premiere of the show’s tenth season.
A video capturing Chinwe Owoh’s emotional breakdown during the burial continues to circulate online.
